Agricultural Products Pre-cooling Flutai TK refrigerated truck/trailer pre-cools the crops from the moment right after harvesting.
Agricultural products pre-cooling refers to removing field heat and accumulated respiratory heat from agricultural products before transporting, refrigerating or processing so that the crops can cool down quickly. Pre-cooling should be completed within a few minutes or hours after harvesting to keep the freshness in time.
Most of the current harvesting process is to leave the agricultural products at the edge of the field after harvesting to await delivery. Then the same batch of the products will transport to a cooperative for vacuum cooling to remove field heat. After that, the crops will be placed in the freezer to maintain the low temperature. Afterward, the products will transport by refrigerated truck to the packing and cutting factories or distributors. However, there is still room for improvement in the current pre-cooling process. First, heat builds up during harvest and is challenging to dissipate when the products are waiting to be transported.
Furthermore, when the products are transported to the cooperative for pre-cooling, there may not be enough space in the pre-cooling facility. Therefore, agricultural products often need to wait outside the cooperative for several hours before pre-cooling. These delays can affect the quality of agricultural products.
To solve the agricultural products' pre-cooling problem, Flutai Co., Ltd. applied the features of the refrigerated truck to propose a whole new pre-cooling solution.
Flutai Co., Ltd., established in 1994, started as an agent for Sanden Corporation of Japan and launched its products into the Taiwan Market. In 2004, Flutai became the strategic partner of Thermo King, the world leader in the refrigeration unit. Since 2005, in addition to providing the services of designing, manufacturing, selling, leasing and maintaining the cold chain logistics-equipment carriages and units, the company also incorporated a refrigerated facility and engineering division to design, plan and construct cold storage central kitchen, etc. Flutai's mission has always been to provide the highest quality products to our clients and be the best cold chain partner for our clients.
Flutai TK refrigerated truck/trailer's operation method is similar to tunnel cooler storage. Flutai's refrigerated container truck adopts the trailer of world No. 1 brand "Thermo King" with the fantastic refrigerating Flutai styrofoam truck body, which can be another option for post-harvest pre-cooling of agricultural products. Flutai proposed the solution to drive the TK refrigerated truck/trailer directly into the field and pre-cool the products in the refrigerated truck/trailer immediately after harvesting. The products are pre-cooled during transportation and delivered directly to the grading, processing or packaging factories without waiting. Flutai's solution provides a complete cold chain approach and significantly reduces the waiting time for delivery, especially during the New Year and busy agricultural periods. In addition, since the solution prevents agricultural products' temperature from rising continuously, it improves products' quality and extends product life.

As a result, the shift of land-based aquaculture to offshore cage net farming, creating "ocean ranching," has become a trend. This allows for the consumption of saltwater fish without the need for ocean fishing, while land can be repurposed for other uses. It saves freshwater resources, reduces carbon footprints and damage caused by disasters, and promotes a friendly farming environment that minimizes the impact of aquaculture on the environment, ultimately achieving sustainable operation.
Traditional agricultural machinery, mostly powered by diesel, is one of the primary sources of carbon emissions in agriculture. To respond to the call for net-zero emissions, countries are encouraging farmers to use electric agricultural machinery that reduces carbon emissions. Electric agricultural machinery also offers advantages such as low noise, low vibration, low waste heat, and easy startup. If they can be charged with renewable energy sources like solar power or wind power, it further enhances energy savings and carbon reduction efforts.
Animals raised without antibiotics rely on alternative health supplements like herbal medicines, probiotics, enzymes, or plant-based additives for robust health. This approach promotes a healthy digestive system, resulting in fewer cases of diarrhea, reduced fecal and urine odor, and less environmental pollution. By avoiding antibiotic use, the development of antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms is prevented, preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics. It also ensures food safety by eliminating the risk of drug residues.
Automated cutting equipment is common in modern meat processing plants for meat portioning, but detailed cutting still relies on manual hand-cutting. Knives play a crucial role in this process, significantly impacting efficiency and quality. Choosing the right knives reduces manual cutting time and effort, minimizes hand injuries, improves work efficiency, and ensures the preservation of high-quality meat with its market value intact.
